Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Li Hongzhang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2013. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Seven-Character Couplet In Running Script sold for HKD 250,000.00 (€ 23,702.78) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Li Hongzhang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Calligraphy in April 2013 with an auction result of HKD 1,035,000.00 (€ 101,314.93).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Li Hongzhang erzielte im November 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Seven-Character Couplet In Running Script für HKD 250.000,00 (€ 23.702,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 100.000,00.
